    Location, location, location! If convenience is high on your wish list, this 4-bedroom rancher puts you less than a minute from James Buchanan High School and Middle School, Rutter’s, Food Lion, WellSpan Family Medicine, Pharmacy, Tractor Supply, Mercersburg Veterinary Clinic, Mercersburg Family Dentistry, the American Legion and other everyday conveniences—all while giving you a spacious 0.78-acre lot with plenty of room to spread out and NO HOA! Inside, the spacious kitchen provides plenty of room for everyday meals and gatherings, with beautiful French doors that lead directly to the rear patio and sprawling backyard. Whether you're grilling with friends, relaxing around the fire pit or simply enjoying the extra outdoor space, the backyard gives you plenty of room to make it your own. The main-level living room features hardwood floors and a brick fireplace with an electric insert, creating a comfortable gathering space with plenty of character. The home offers four bedrooms, with hardwood flooring underneath the carpet in all three secondary bedrooms. A convenient main-level laundry adds everyday functionality and offers the potential to be converted into a second bathroom if desired, while additional washer and dryer hookups are already available in the basement. Kitchen appliances along with the washer and dryer convey with the sale. Downstairs, the large 13' x 24' family room provides a second living space and direct interior access to the attached one-car basement garage. Additional unfinished basement space provides plenty of room for storage, tools, hobbies or a workshop, while attic storage gives you even more space for seasonal items and everything you don't need taking up your everyday living areas. Several major improvements have already been completed, including a new natural gas furnace and central A/C in 2026, new natural gas hot water heater in 2025, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, and an architectural shingle roof installed in 2018. And the possibilities here extend beyond the home itself. The property is located in Peters Township, which currently has no municipal zoning ordinance, potentially opening the door to additional future uses, including certain commercial possibilities, subject to any applicable regulations and permits. With four bedrooms, an oversized lot, major mechanical updates, multiple storage areas, NO HOA and an incredibly convenient location, this property offers a combination of space, flexibility and accessibility that's tough to find.
